Title: Structure of ac type pdp
Inventor: AMANO YOSHIFUMI
IPC: H01J11/12
Filed: 2003-09-16
Granted: 2009-07-21
Abstract: There is no material like magnesium oxide (MgO), which is unstable and difficult to be formed from a manufacturing process standpoint, to make a secondary electron radiation layer and protective layer covering a dielectric layer of an AC type PDP, which raises a serious problem from a process standpoint.     An AC type PDP has an arrangement in which a conductive material such as nickel, aluminum, magnesium, lanthanum hexaboride is formed like an island instead of covering the surface of the dielectric layer with a conductive material such as MgO, this island-shaped conductive material is bonded in capacitance to a bus electrode of a lower layer by an electrostatic capacitance to form a dielectric layer, a resultant electrode being operated as a sustain electrode.

Abstract: A system is set forth to increase the capacity of an LNG-based liquefier in a cryogenic air separation unit wherein, in a low production mode, the nitrogen that is fed to the LNG-based liquefier consists only of at least a portion of the high pressure nitrogen from the distillation column system while in a high production mode, a supplemental compressor is used to boost the pressure of at least a portion of the low pressure nitrogen from the distillation column system to create additional (or replacement) feed to the LNG-based liquefier. A key to the present invention is the supplemental compressor and the associated heat exchange equipment is separate and distinct from the LNG-based liquefier. This allows its purchase to be delayed until a capacity increase is actually needed and thus avoid building an oversized liquefier based on a speculative increase in liquid product demand.
